trad the'coinpaet container 18 is inserted in the frame member itmay be secured in place by ring 23 which is designed to fit snugly over flange 22 and contact-withring; 21 of the frame member.

Thecompact container may be readily removed by lifting ring 23 which then allows the container to be withdrawn from frame member17.

Upper cover section 16 comprises a frame member 30 and an inner member 31 which may contain a mirror or other suitable article. Framemember 30 is provided with a peripheral beading similar to that on lower cover section; The inturned portion of 15 the. beading is adapted to form a' meeting may be permanentlysecured in place in the frame member by crimping flange 345 over ring 32 as shown on Fig. 3, or it may be soldered in'place if desired. The crimping or .-soldering should preferably be completed before placing the mirror in member 31 in order The cr mping of to avoid damage thereto. flange 34 over ring 32 may be carried out so that part of the flange 34. may overhang the! mirror 35 to hold the mirror in place. Fur- 35 thermore the mirror 35 may be provided-with projections 36 which may cut into the overhanging part of flange 34 when the mirror is snappedinto position.

y Frame member 30is provided with a hinge 4o knuckle 10 which may be'formed integral therewith by providing a'tongue bent back uponitself. Bead1ng19' and flange 20 on coyer section 15 are cut away at {H to pro-- vide space for the hinge knuckle when the two members aresccured together. Pintle wire 42 is passed'through hinge knuckle 40 and may be resiliently retained in beading 19.

One endof pintle wire 42 is providedwith a tongue'member 43 (Fig. S) which is bent to may"bef'conreniently made by cutting a flat piece of metal and bending it to thoshape sho'wnin Fig. 8.; Itmay be fastened to wire tior'i. I y v Flange20 on frame member 17 may be provided with a T-shaped slot at a point dia- 42 by soldering or may be retained by fricmetrically oppositehinge knuckle 4.0 into pacts may beempl'oyed if desired.

following claims.

closed hy'pressing frame rhember30 past projection 44, the pintle wire providing the I necessary resiliency. To open the case the catch may be released by pressingon tongue 4-3 thereby springing the pintle wire',and members 1r. attached thereto, to the position shown in Fig. 6. o

By constructing the case as above described so that the compact container forms apart of the outer surface of the coveri'the totalthickness ofthe cover is reduced tothat of one piece of metal and the size of the case maybe correspondingly reduced. The above arrangement also provides convenicnt means container is to be discarded'when the powder? supply has been exhausted it may be desirable to eonstruct the central portion of a cheaper material than the permanent frame member.

The above construction provides a 2 simple means for doingthis and removably securing the part in place. r r

Byutilizing the pintlel-wire as a part of the catch, the case itself may be made strong and unyielding and a spring catch provided without the addition of extra parts; Asav-a ing in materials andlaboris therefore effectedover that requiretl'to provide asepa;

rate catch member: The pintle; wire in man tionto forming part of the hinge and carry ing a catch member also serves asa reinforcing means for the cdge'of the case.

The case has been described as including a powder compact and mirror;l1owevcr,?thctwo coversections may be of similar construction and other. toilet articles such as rouge coma tions maybe sccuredby friction rings so, as to be readily removable should the nature of the article 'carriedirequire this expedient to facilitate replacement.
